Greens Leader: Richard Di Natale: “We value a safe climate, and want to pass a safe Australia on to our children and their children. But climate change puts this all at risk. We know what the impacts will be in Australia. Already, we are seeing extreme summer heat, breaking record after record. If we do nothing, we know to expect worse droughts, floods and heatwaves.”
